'07 SL55 vs older MY's

How many of the changes introduced in the 07 SL55 MY are worth it, rather than picking up an older MY? Do new owners use the paddles and are they better? Did the brakes need to be upgraded to ceramics? Is the handling significantly better? How would it compare to by 997 C2S?

Also is the new SL550 close enough to the SL55's performance and handling to not be worth the difference in price?

I'm thinking of adding either a new SL550 or a used SL55 (might just stretch to a new SL55) and want to get a clearer picture before I go in and do pitched battle with a dealer.
